REPRODUCING THE NF LOGO ON THE CERTIFIED PRODUCT 2.. General Refer to 2.5 of the body of the reference system. The trade reference of the certified product must be reserved for the NF mark. The NF logo must ensure identification of all certified products in accordance with the provisions set down in this technical document. The requirements relating to marking in the reference standards listed on page 2 of this Technical Document must also be followed. The black and white version of the NF logo can be used Marking pipes and fittings Marking pipes Holders have the option to use: - Either the new logo followed by the letter A, as follows: A - Or, as an exception, when using the logo creates technical and/or material difficulties, the old NF logo. Marking of pipes must be carried out in a way that is visible and indelible and which can be read by the naked eye on a generatrix and contain, every 2 metres or less, at a minimum, the following set of information: - the trademark or symbol filed by the applicant/holder with the mandated bodies; - the holder s identification number assigned upon notification of admission and possibly the production site designated upon notification of admission (if there are multiple factories); - the NF logo and the symbol of the family: A; Note: a negative version of the logo can be used. - the material identification symbol: PVC / PE / PP; - the pipe dimensions: nominal external diameter and CR4 and/or SN4, CR8 and/or SN8, CR6 and/or SN6; - mark for production identification: date (dd/mm/yy) or day number and year of manufacture (xxx/yy) (or batch no. indicating the manufacturing date: in this case, the definition of this number must be sent to the mandated body). Additional information enabling traceability to be ensured may be included. - *: impacts -0 C according to standard NF EN 4 if claimed by the applicant/holder. Note: the choice of marking method is left to the applicant/holder. Any other additional marking is permitted on the condition that the sequence of NF information is not broken and it causes no

8 Technical Document 2: Structured-wall piping with smooth external surface group (Type A) 8/7 confusion during use; in this case, the sequence of NF information must be framed by lines of approximately 3 cm. Example: PVC, PE and PP pipes for sewerage systems XXX 0/02 A PVC or PE or PP 25 CR8 (and/or) SN or * XXX 0/02 A PVC or PE or PP 25 CR8 (and/or) SN or * Marking fabricated fittings Holders have the option to use: - Either the new logo followed by the letter A, as follows: A - - Or, as an exception, when using the logo creates technical and/or material difficulties, the following monogram: A Each fitting must bear the following information, marked indelibly (marking a permanently affixed label is permitted): - trademark or symbol filed by the applicant/holder with the mandated bodies, - nominal dimensions (in the case of a single fitting or a reducing fitting; in the latter case, the order indicated for the designation must be followed), - values of connection angles, - NF logo and the symbol of the family: A. - the stiffness class: CR4 and/or SN4, CR8 and/or SN8 or CR6 and/or SN6 according to the stiffness class of the pipe used to manufacture the fabricated fitting. - the symbol identifying the material (PVC/PE/PP) - If multiple trademarks are filed with the mandated bodies, the identification number of the holder, assigned upon notification of admission, must be mentioned in addition to the above information. Note: the location of the marking and the methods used are left to the applicant/holder. Any other additional marking is permitted on the condition that its location is separate from the NF marking and it causes no confusion during use Additional information on fittings (optional) - a mark for production identification. 2.2 REPRODUCTION OF THE NF LOGO ON THE PACKAGING OF THE NF-CERTIFIED PRODUCT The following NF logo is to be used:
